Background

After July 31, 2023, NVIDIA will no longer provide technical support for the old-version GRID License Server. Additionally, the old-version GRID License purchased by Tencent Cloud will expire on March 30, 2024. To prevent your operations from being impacted by the expiration of the driver, we suggest upgrading your current GRID driver to GRID 16 which is supported by the new-version GRID License Server.
Note:
For more information on NVIDIA's discontinuation of technical support for the old-version GRID License Server, see: NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software License Server End of Life Notice.

Expiration Date

March 30, 2024.

Scope of Impact

1. Starting from March 30, 2024, you will no longer be able to use GRID11 and GRID13 drivers.
2. Starting from February 26, 2024, you can only purchase new rendering instances with a GRID16 driver for Cloud GPU Service.
